Residents of an apartment building in Bavaria, southern Germany, called police to investigate the relentless buzzing of their doorbells late at night. At first, they suspected it was a case of a popular pastime called "ding dong ditch," which involves children ringing a doorbell and then running away before they’re caught. When the ringing continued even after the arrival of two police officers, a closer look at the metal bell plate revealed that the culprit was actually a slug. Apparently, the slug had been sliding up and down the bell plate, wreaking havoc in the building and rousing residents out of their sleep long after midnight. A police spokesperson said the mollusk had been removed and relocated to a nearby stretch of grass.
